YESTERDAY, a new movie featuring the hits of the Beatles, has had its first trailer released - and fans are getting incredibly excited.

It’s not a biopic of the same ilk as, say, Bohemian Rhapsody - instead it’s an all-new story that utilises the hits of one of the most iconic music acts of all time. And Yesterday unites a stellar cast that’s headlined by former EastEnders favourite Himesh Patel, famed for playing Tamwar Masood, and Lily James.

“This looks perfect. A seemingly diverse film using the Beatles art for what it is – a once-in-forever collection of absolute genius,” said one person. “And mocking how dreadful ears and the ‘industry’ currently are.”

“Wow this looks awesome,” said someone else.

A third beamed: “Cool concept. And Danny Boyle. I'm in.”

One particular scene in the film was shot in Suffolk and reportedly boasts over 6,000 extras.
